Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for the manufacturing of synthesis gas, in particular hydrogen, through the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons under the influence of heat.
  • Synthesis gases are produced in large quantities as mixtures or mixed products for the manufacture of such products as hydrocarbons, alcohols and ammonia. During the course of the chemical processes in the manufacture of such synthesis gases, there are encountered considerable energy losses which are covered or compensated for by the energy of fossil fuels primarily those based on petroleum.
  • the heating through solar energy can be carried out either directly by constructing the reactor or the steam reformer as a solar absorber, or indirectly through the utilization of intermediate heat carriers.
  • reactors which are connected in series, of which the reactor arranged upstream in the flow direction is heated by solar energy, and the reactor arranged downstream in the flow direction is heated through the combustion of the residual product from the synthesis gas production process.
  • the method is used for the production of ammonia via synthesis gas.
  • ammonia which is used in the manufacture of fertilizers is frequently the first product of a beginning or infant industrialization, which is used at or near the manufacturing location or neighborhood and induced with the utilization of the inventive method at the location of consumption; thereby eliminating the need for expensive infrastructures such as, for example, distribution networks or pipeline systems for remote energy distribution systems.
  • the flue gas heat from the combustion of residual products which is available at below the process temperature, can be completely utilized for the generation of the necessary process steam and for the preheating of air and feed stock for the ammonia process.
  • This utilization of the waste or exhaust leads to systems which spontaneously and self-sufficiently provide energy, and thereby additionally to a high overall efficiency in the utilization of solar energy.
  • the present invention also provides for a novel apparatus for implementing the inventive method, in which the apparatus includes at least one reactor with at least one catalyzer which is heatable with solar energy.
  • the raw material or feed stock is conveyed to a catalyzer 13 which is arranged in a reformer 12, through a fuel feed line, is particular a natural gas feed line 10, and through a feed pump 11.
  • the catalyzer 13 is constructed as a solar absorber which is exposed to solar radiation 14.
  • the above-mentioned first reformer with a catalyzer 13 has a secondary reformer with a catalyzer 15 connected thereto downstream thereof.
  • the natural gas 10 which is converted by the catalyzers 13 and 15 is conducted through a CO converter 17 to a pressure-changing adsorption washer 18, in which the hydrogen 19 is separated out and conducted off through a discharge conduit 20.
  • the residual product or residual gas 21 is conveyed to a storage 22, from which the combustible product is combusted, with the addition of air 23 in a reformer furnace 24 as needed so as to heat the secondary reactor with a catalyzer 15 whenever the available solar energy 14 is inadequate for the maintenance of a continuous operation.
  • the fuel in feed conduit 25 for the reformer furnace 24 is connected with the fuel supply 10 through a conduit 26 and a valve 27, such that, during a protracted lack of solar radiation and after consumption of the stored residual product, the reformer furnace 24 can be maintained in operation through the use of primary energy.
  • the final temperature of the primary reformer 12 is so selected that, similar to a Braun purifier process or at a subsequent pressure-changing adsorption process a major portion of the methane will not be converted. This renders possible more milder conditions for the operation of the catalyzer tubes 15 in the reformer furnace 24 and, subsequent to separation of the hydrogen 19 from the remaining reaction products 21, enables the residual gases 21 to be employed for sustaining the process with fossil fuels during periods when solar operation is not possible; for example, during the night, under cloudy skies, and thereby the maintenance of a continuous operation.
  • the solar energy, as well as the thermal energy of the flue gases 28 from the reformer furnace 24, are used for the generating of steam 29, as illustrated by the phantom lines.
  • the steam 29 is admixed with the fuel through an infeed conduit 31 for the reforming process.
  • the system as described herein in the utilization of hydrogen 19 for the production of ammonia is connected to an ammonia synthesis system which is generally identified by the reference numeral 32, herein, the available flue gas heat 28 which is below process temperature, besides being utilized for the generating of steam 29, is also used for preheating 33 air and feed stock material for the ammonia process.
  • the entire system thus represents a self-sustained energy system in which there is not only conserved primary energy, but there are also eliminated length pipelines which, under circumstances are needed for transport.
  • the heating thereof by solar energy can also be effected indirectly through the use of intermediate heat carriers, for example, such as a fluid.
